Chapter 11

Terra lifted Gaia up and swung her around before placing her on the ground and kissing her soundly on the lips. It was their wedding day and Gaia looked twice as beautiful as ever. Terra tenderly touched her cheek and smiled at her before taking her into a dance. Gaia made him a better person internally and externally. She changed him for the better and he smiled more and treated people with respect.

Axel stood in the corner and smiled happily. "Ah, l'amore," he sighed joyfully. He was glad that he was human again and to see the master happy again. Larxene sashayed by, carrying a feather duster, and flirtatiously dusted Axel. He looked at her rear as she walked off and he was about to go after her but Saix apprehended him.

"Well, Axel, old friend," said Saix, shaking Axel's hand. "Shall we let bygones be bygones?"

"Of course, mon ami," said Axel, drawing a friendly arm around Saix. "I told you she'd break the spell."

"I beg your pardon, old friend," said Saix, "but I believe I told you."

"No, you didn't," said Axel, "I told you."

"You most certainly did not," said Saix, turning this into an argument, "you pompous, spiky-headed pea brain!"

"En garde," said Axel, holding his fists up, "you overgrown pocket watch!" They started fighting but no one cared or took notice. "Take that!"

"Stop shoving!" shouted Saix but no one cared.

Gaia and Terra danced by Ansem, Aqua, and Ven with big smiles on their faces. Ansem wiped his eyes to try and stop the tears from flowing. Ven had a big innocent smile on his face and Aqua had a gentle smile on her face.

"Are they gonna live happily ever after, Mama?" asked Ven innocently.

"Of course, my dear," said Aqua dreamily as she watched them. "Of course."

Ventus asked a question he'd been pondering on since he was human again. "Do I still have to sleep in the cupboard?"

Ansem and Aqua started laughing at his question and Aqua held Ventus close to her. To change the slow music, Zack hopped up on one of the tables and grabbed a microphone. Everyone, even Gaia and Terra, stopped dancing to stare.

"Come on, everyone," he said to the crowd, "let's sing for the happy couple!" He gave them a big smile and grabbed Aerith's hand. "C'mon, Aerith, let's sing it!"

Aerith smiled back at him and grabbed a microphone from Axel. "All right," she said. "Maestro, play the song we played a few weeks ago."

The familiar chords of "Beauty and the Beast" sounded from the band but sounded more upbeat and lighter. Aerith and Zack began dancing together as they started singing the song.

"Tale as old as time,

True as it can be,

Barely even friends,

Then somebody bends,

Unexpectedly,

Just a little change,

Small, to say the least.

Both a little scared,

Neither one prepared,

Beauty and the Beast

Ever just the same.

Ever a surprise.

Ever as before,

Ever just as sure

As the sun will rise.

Tale as old as time

Tune as old as song.

Bittersweet and strange,

Finding you can change,

Learning you were wrong.

Certain as the sun

Rising in the East.

Tale as old as time,

Song as old as rhyme.

Beauty and the Beast.

Ever just the same.

Ever a surprise.

Ever as before,

Ever just as sure

As the sun will rise.

Certain as the sun

Rising in the East.

Tale as old as time,

Song as old as rhyme.

Beauty and the Beast."

After the song, Gaia and Terra bent in once more and pressed a tender kiss to each other's lips. Terra wrapped his arms around Gaia's waist and pulled her closer than possible. Gaia tenderly touched his face and kissed him tenderly. She knew that this feeling would last forever and that it happened because of true love. True love guided her here today and now she would live happily ever after just like the characters in her stories.
